VD 500
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The VD500 seismic detector mounts on steel and concrete surfaces providing reliable protection of the high
risk objects such as safes, strongboxes, depository safes,
ATM, filing or armoury cabinets, concrete walls etc. The
VD500 gives indication of any penetration attempt by
means of explosives or tools such as drills, disc-cutters,
grinding machines and thermal tools. The detector provides protection thanks to 3 separate detection channels:
 Integrating channel - detects low amplitude high frequency signals of long duration.
 Counting channel – detects events of middle values of
energy.
 Explosion detection channel - detects very high amplitude and short duration signals. Out of all the 3 channels this channel has the highest priority.
The sensitivity is adjusted in digital way by means of preprogrammed DIP-switch.
When mounting the VD500 verify uniformity of the surface it is to rest on and make sure it is properly fixed.
Special mounting plate MP500 along with additional bolt
and a dowel facilitates mounting of the detector on concrete and brick walls.
For outdoor mounting locations with likely severe
weather conditions or for installations in cold rooms, the
detector should be enclosed in the WH500 whose internal heater maintains sufficiently high air temperature
around the detector thereby keeping the humidity below
the critical point.
The VD500 seismic detector includes LED alarm condition
indicator, temperature alarm detection, anti-tamper protection and built-in self-test generator with remote test
input. The light grey detector housing is useful for installations in severe environments.
 Miniature, low-profile detector for application with
limited space
 24-hour surveillance of vaults, safes, night deposits,
ATMs, strong room doors and walls, etc.
 Advanced DSP system based on a microcontroller
 Noise filtering system providing high immunity to environmental noise
 Detection of momentary high amplitude shock waves
 Programmable level of mid-energy attacks
 Quick sensitivity adjustment using a DIP switch
 Built-in settings for protection of ATMs and depository
safes
 User programmable mode
 Built-in self-test generator
 Remote self-test triggering input
 Alarm relay triggering mode programmable: latched
or auto-reset
 Built-in LED as alarm indicator, output for external LED
 Anti-tamper protection
 Pry-off detection
 Temperature alarm detection
 Low-voltage indication
 Built-in events log (“black-box”)
 Built-in PC interface for monitoring software CVDlink
 Approved by VdS, Techom and other European certification bureaus (pending)

APPLICATION
PROGRAMMING DIP-SWITCH
The unit can be mounted on any stable surface where an
intrusion attempt might occur. However, the following
must be taken in to account:
1. The design and construction of the protected surface
and its material.
2. The detector location in relations to studs, joints,
door/window hinges etc.
3. Background disturbances that can influence the detector.
One 5-position DIP switch is used to program the following detector functions:
1. Sensitivity – one of four predefined ranges
2. Counter – number of pulses to activate alarm (1 to 4)
3. Operational modes of LED and alarm relay:
a. Autoreset – automatic reset after 2s
b. Latch – reset by power off
COVERAGE
The typical coverage in various materials is shown in the
table below. The ranges are only presented as guidelines,
practical tests must always be conducted.

MOUNTING
ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING-UP
1. Loosen the cover screws and remove cover
2. Select a suitable mounting position
3. Use the bottom part as a template and mark the fixing holes
4. Use a proper drill and thread for:
a. Steel: M4 screws
b. Concrete and brickwork: use MP500 and M4
screws
c. Wood: self-tapping screws
Placement of detector mounting screws (drill patern):
Adjustment and setting is quite simple. Check if detector
mode is set to autoreset (DIP switch pos. 5=OFF). The
LED will then indicate activation and the alarm relay will
reset for two seconds. If programmed for multiple pulses, each registered impact will be shown by a short flash,
the alarm will result in a longer flash.
1. Set-up the highest sensitivity (1=ON, 2=ON).
2. Tap lightly close to the detector and check if each tap
is indicated and the alarm relay is working properly
after the set number of pulses.
3. Set-up the lowest sensitivity (1=OFF, 2=OFF).
4. Use the tool at the most distant point to be protected
and increase the sensitivity until the LED indicates a
receive pulse.

CONNECTION TO PC
Detector VD500 is equipped with PC interface terminal.
Communication can be achieved with the help of additional interface unit USBlink providing also supply of detector from voltage available in USB port. Visualization of
detector state, signal and event recording and access to
internal detector logger (black-box) is possible with the
help of CVDlink software. Internal detector settings can
be programmed in user programmable mode.
